Well, no, because the Spanish Flue was a direct consequence of the upheaval of WW1 - as much as Pannonian might like to claim otherwise Brexit has not caused Corvid-19.

For at least three weeks but I'm betting at least three month and I'm expecting six months to a year.

Possibly not as stringent right now but it's telling the Government wanted this Bill on a two-year renewal, not six months, initially.

I never claimed it, so don't admire that strawman too much. I'm talking about food supply, which this crisis has shown to be an issue even when the supply chain is intact. Common sense would suggest that, if you can't cope when the supply chain is working, you're going to cope even worse when it is broken.
